Lyrics

There are women of many descriptions

Various women with different characteristics exist.

It's a wild world, as everyone knows

The world is unpredictable and chaotic.

Some are living in beautiful mansions

Some women live in luxurious mansions.

And are wearing the finest of clothes

These women wear the finest clothes.

There are blue-blooded queens and princesses

There are aristocratic queens and princesses.

That have charms made of diamonds and pearls

These aristocratic women possess charms made of diamonds and pearls.

But the only and thoroughbred lady is the rebel girl

The most genuine and authentic lady is the rebel girl.


That's the rebel girl, that's the rebel girl

Emphasizes the rebel girl's identity and significance.

To the working class she's a precious pearl

She is a precious gem to the working class.

She brings courage and pride to the fighting rebel boy

She instills courage and pride in the rebel boys who fight.

I will fight for freedom with a rebel girl

Expresses the commitment to fight for freedom alongside a rebel girl.


Her hands may be hardened from labor

Her hands may be tough from labor.

And her dress may not be very fine

Her clothing may not be extravagant.

But her heart in her body's beating

Her heart beats true to her class and kind.

That is true to her class and her kind

Despite challenges, she remains true to her identity.

And the grifters and the terror are troubling

Deals with the struggles and threats troubling her.

In her spite and defiance she'll hurl

In defiance, she confronts grifters and terror with spite.

For the only and thoroughbred lady is the rebel girl

Reiterates that the genuine lady is the rebel girl.


That's the rebel girl, that's the rebel girl

Reiteration of the rebel girl's identity and importance.

To the working class she's a precious pearl

She remains a valuable asset to the working class.

She brings courage and pride to the fighting rebel boy

Continues to bring courage and pride to rebel boys.

I will fight for freedom with a rebel girl

Reaffirms the commitment to fight for freedom with a rebel girl.

That's the rebel girl, that's the rebel girl

Reiteration of the rebel girl's identity and significance.

To the working class she's a precious pearl

She remains a precious gem to the working class.

She brings courage and pride to her fighting rebel boy

She instills courage and pride in her fighting rebel boy.

I will fight for freedom with a rebel girl

Reaffirms the commitment to fight for freedom with a rebel girl.
